It seems that food deliverymen (送货员) are always rushing in haste.We can always see them running every minute,and they seem to have lots of things to do the next minute.They wear blue,red or yellow helmets (头盔) and many of them don't follow traffic rules.They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights.They use mobile phones when they are driving.

However,not everything goes well with food deliverymen.In the first half of 2017,food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai.That means every two and a half days,a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.

What makes deliverymen take such risks?The strict rules of the food delivery companies and the worried customers may be the answer.Many companies will fine (罚款) a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan if he can't deliver the food on time,reported China Daily.Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.

To solve the problem,food delivery service companies need to do some changes.Some cities are also taking action.Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety.Now in Shenzhen,if a deliveryman breaks traffic rules more than twice,then he can't do the job for a whole year.

    An 11﹣year﹣old blind girl is proud of walking alone every day to and from school.Why? She has to walk past so many barriers (障碍物) in her way.The girl's home is near the school,yet her mother follows her without letting her know.

    The case of the girl shows the barrier﹣free facilities (设施) are not enough in her city. Many other cities are short of barrier﹣free facilities as well. There's no well﹣designed path for the blind. In fact. in the early 2000s, some cities started to build barrier﹣free facilities for disabled people. However,almost 20 years later, only a few large cities have had facilities of high quality.

    It's common that sidewalks are taken up with barriers. Few workers are sent to move them away, so it's dangerous for the blind to walk on them. Also, some other barrier﹣free facilities are badly destroyed(毁坏). Only a few workers are assigned (分配) to do the task of repairing the broken ones.

    Some ideas can make a difference﹣build more barrier﹣free facilities and employ more of them require money. In a word, more money is needed to carry on with the work. It's our duty to make life easy for disabled people, so that they can live without barriers some day.

Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.

     According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.

    Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds,so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.

    To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.

    To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.

    Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.

    The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers," says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space Researcher.

    "The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become," he says.

(1)What does the underlined word "these" in Paragraph 2 refer to  

A. Telescopes.

B. Satellites.

C. Pieces of space junk.

D. BBC news reports.

(2)Why is space junk considered a problem  

A. It burns up after it re﹣enters the atmosphere.

B. It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth.

C. It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds.

D. It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death.

(3)Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that  

A. the tools can be reused later

B. the tools don't become space junk

C. the earth's atmosphere can stay clean

D. the effects of space flight can be studied

(4)How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk  

A. Catch it with nets.

B. Use robots to collect it.

C. Burn it in the earth's atmosphere.

D. Send it further away from the earth.

(5)In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article  

A. Environment.

B. Local News.

Have you ever imagined the life in space?The following will show you the astronauts' daily life.

• Eating in space

   If you go camping for more than a week with some friends,you will make sure you have plenty of foods and keep them properly.At the end of your camping trip,you would deal with your rubbish properly before the ride home.

   Astronauts almost do the same thing when they go to space.Preparation changes with the food type.Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms,such as chocolate cakes and fruits.Other foods require adding water,such as cheese.Of course,an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food.But there are no fridges,so space food must be kept properly.

• Sleeping in space

   After a long day at work,nothing is better than a good night's sleep!Just like on the earth,in space astronauts go to bed at a certain time,then get up and prepare for work again.When going to sleep,they have to attachthemselves,so they don't float (漂浮) around or hit their bodies against something.They usually use sleeping bags located in small crew cabins (乘员舱).Each crew cabin is just big enough for one person.Generally,astronauts have an eight﹣hour sleep each day when they finish their task.

• Doing sports in space

   Exercise is an important part of every astronaut's daily life to prevent muscle loss (肌肉萎缩).Usually,astronauts exercise two hours every day.Lifting 200 pounds on the earth may be a lot of work.But lifting that same object in space would be much easier.That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed,so astronauts can receive the exercise needed.

   Living in space is not just all work and no play.Astronauts have fun,too.They like to look out the window and play with their food.Fun plays an important role in the quality of their life.

(1)The writer starts to explain eating in space by    .

A.

telling a story

B.

asking a question

C.

giving an example

D.

comparing two facts

(2)What does the underlined word " attach" in Paragraph 4 mean?

This is such a heart﹣warming piece of news in the cold winter. Some days ago, the temperature was only ﹣6℃ in Kaifeng, Henan. Someone ordered 50 cups of warm porridge(粥) through Meituan App and noted " Please give the porridge to those sanitation(环卫) workers who are clearing snow on the road nearby and those delivery(递送) men who are delivering food. "When the porridge shop owner received the order, he was moved by the note and provided 60 cups.

The story didn′t end here. As soon as the food delivery man got the big order,he shared it with his workmates so that they could also get paid. Finally, Meituan returned the money to the porridge buyer, Mr. Zhang and gave him a reward of ¥500. Although he had to raise his newly﹣ born baby and pay for his

house every month, Mr. Zhang said he would surely continue delivering love.

The kind help also encouraged many other citizens in Kaifeng.This summer,volunteers are sending cool drinks everyday.

Similar stories have happened in many other places in China. Outdoor workers in different cities are able to enjoy free and caring help. Lots of "love posts"are providing "coolness"in hot summer and"warmth"in cold winter. Just as a citizen of Kaifeng said,"I feel deeply moved and warm in heart."

In fact, we get love and give love every day. Love delivery makes our life better and more beautiful.

A Pioneer for all People

Though he was one of China's most famous scientists,Yuan Longping considered himself a farmer,because he worked the land to do his research.

Known as "Father of Hybrid Rice (杂交水稻)",Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural (农业的) College in 1953.From then on,finding ways to grow more rice was his life goal.As a young man,he saw the great need for increasing the rice production.At that time,hunger was a serious problem in many parts of the countryside.Dr Yuan searched for a way to get more rice with the same size of the fields.In 1974,he became an agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has high production and that is called super hybrid rice.In the 1980s,he went around the world and gave advice about growing rice to farmers in other countries.In 2004,he won the World Food Prize for his work.

Dr Yuan was quite satisfied with his life.He would much rather keep time for his hobbies.He enjoyed playing the violin,swimming and reading.Spending money on himself meant very little to him,so he gave millions of yuan to help some researchers with their research in farming.

Long ago Dr Yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum (高粱) .With his hard work,he grew the rice that could feed more people.President Xi Jinping praised him for his great contributions (贡献) to China's food safety and world corn development.

This 12﹣year﹣old Girl Built a Robot to Find Plastics in the Ocean

    Anna Du was walking along the beach when she noticed plastics there.She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized there were many more tiny pieces than she could deal with. It seemed impossible to clean them all up.

    Du, 12 years old at the time, tried to solve the problem like any good scientist﹣first. by doing a little research. That's how she learned that 8 million tons of plastics end up in the oceans every year.

    Then she got to work building something that could help solve the problem;a remote﹣operated vehicle(遥控潜水器), or ROV. Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.

    The actually cool part of Du's ROV is the detection(探测) system. She uses a camera along with three different kinds of light to find the plastics. She also uses visible(可见的) light to find unnatural colors that might make the plastics stand out.

    "She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this and then go after it," says engineer Casey Machado. "It sounds simple, but it's a level of thinking that's really amazing."

    Du started attending public events and workshops at a university when she was five years old, and so she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV to move through water well was not easy. She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing.

    When asked about future plans,she mentions wanting to address the effects of climate(气候)change."I think there are a lot of problems that could be solved with new inventions," says Du.

    Du thanks her parents, who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). She says she has been able to meet students and scientists there.

    "I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve world problems," says Du."But I'm not sure what kind of engineer I want to be yet."

(1)What did Anna Du notice while walking along the beach?  

(2)How old was Du when she did a little research to solve the problem?  

(3)What can Du's ROV do?  

(4)Why does Du want to be an engineer in the future?  

(5)What made Du succeed in building her ROV?

Some primary schoolchildren have been raised in homes with more green space around. They are likely to come with larger volumes of white and grey matter in certain areas of the brain. These differences are associated(关联) with beneficial effects on cognitive function (认知功能). This is the main conclusion of a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health.

   The study was performed among 253 schoolchildren in Spain.Lifelong exposure(接触) to green space in the living places was recorded﹣using the information on the children's addresses from birth up through to the time of the study. Brain structure was studied using 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Working memory and inattentiveness(注意力不集中)were graded with computers.

   "This is the first study that shows the association between long﹣term exposure to green space and brain structure." Says Dr. Payam Dadvand, the leading researcher of the study. "Our findings suggest that exposure to green space early in life could result in beneficial structural changes in the brain."

   The findings show that long﹣term exposure to greenness is positively associated with white and grey matter volumes in several parts of the brain. Some of them are related to higher scores on cognitive tests. Moreover, larger volumes of white and grey matter in those parts might lead to better working memory and less inattentiveness.

   Exposure to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children. Another study of 2,593 children shows that children in school with more green space have a greater increase in working memory and a greater decrease in inattentiveness.

   Humans are believed to be tied to nature. Playing in greener areas offers children opportunities to search and learn. Accordingly, green space is thought to promptimportant exercises in discovery, creativity and risk taking. These exercises in turn positively influence brain development.

   Dr. Dadvand's study suggests how such structural changes could bring about the beneficial effects of green spaces on cognitive development. It also adds to the proof that suggests the lasting effects of early life exposure to greenness on our health and the benefits of increasing greenness in cities.

   Further studies are needed to prove the findings in other populations, settings and climates. And researchers need to examine differences according to the nature and quality of green space.

(1)The second paragraph is mainly about   

A. how the study was performed

B. what was recorded in the study

C. how long the study lasted

D. who took part in the study

(2)The word "prompt" in paragraph 6 probably means "   ".

A. control

B. encourage

C. balance

D. change

(3)What can we learn from the passage?   

A. Working memory influences white and grey matter in the brain.

B. Dr. Dadvand stressed the importance of changing the environment.

C. Studies proved the influence of greenness on populations outs of Spain.

D. Living in greener neighborhoods benefits children in brain development.
